This post makes me wonder if I could remember what to do with this any better than my wife could remember what to do with the combinations to the safes.
These ex-spouse stories are scary too.
... I need a better plan!
Welcome to the pistol Holy Wars my friend.
1911's will lead you to "the custom path", which will put a BIG dent in your wallet.
I love the triggers on my 1911s. I like the thumb safety and grip safety features (although these features can be found on the other pistol architectures)...
Thank you for sharing so we all can learn from your experience. Very nicely summarized and quite helpful.
I compliment you on your decisions to stay in the house and not have a firearm in your hand(s) when LE arrived (whether in the holster or laying on table, just not in your hands).
Only...
My 1911 coach encouraged me go with the Wilson ETMs - which I have dozens now. I have a few 47's and they work fine.
The real reason for my post is to encourage you to consider not thrifting on your magazine purchase - buy quality. If you plan to carry this pistol, a few bucks saved won't...
I can only think of two reasons a person might shop here ... (1) it is the first day of their new hobby and they don't know any better, or (2) they are absolutely desperate for something and they don't have 30 additional minutes to drive to one of the other fine INGO supporting retailers. I...
I've always had a good visit at Bradis. I can't recall ever leaving empty handed. I wish they were a little closer so I could visit more often during my lunch hour. Really nice folks @ Bradis!
Just a few long looks now and then when I stop for fuel and have my USPSA outside the waist holster (w/ 45) rig - never had anyone say anything to me, just looks. I mostly go cc and try to avoid stirring up all the sheeple.
Confirmed. Top Notch Instructor. Emphasized 4 safety rules and worked with each individual to make sure they were committing the instruction to both mental and physical (muscle memory). Then did an outstanding job layering the presentation technique, basic reloading techniques and ammo...
#1 - At a 3 day pistol course last Sep'09, the person to my left on the line was struggling with her pistol. On day #2 she finally achieved the ND ... I figured was coming eventually. As I looked down at the ground between us, I could see the 9mm hole about 18" from my left foot at about 11...
I never exit the highway while traveling through IL.
I make sure there is sufficient fuel to make it to the other side.
Only a few times over the years have we ever had to stop for one of the kids to take a an emergency leak -- but we leave the motor running, while they do their thing ...
Thanks for those that attended.
We had 17 shooters and five RO's.
The thunderstorms moved through by 4:45 and we had plenty of time to set up the safety tables and the two stages designed to reinforce the evenings instruction.
The evening began with confirmation that every pistol was...
Thank you in advance for your attention as we are trying to get the word out to potential guests in the immediate area beyond our current membership email list.
The Hoosier Hills Rifle & Pistol Club has organized a beginners introduction to active pistol shooting on July 8th starting at 6pm at...
Thanks for keeping this updated, I have been remiss with getting up to your store to stay in touch from down here in Brown Co.
Seems my cash flow takes a hit every time I visit -- :)
I better visit soon before I see the rental opportunities on class III's or I'll be in overdraft mode @ with my...
You were there, not me, that makes me ignorant of all the things you saw and processed. It is/was inappropriate for me to attempt to comment on these facts.
It sounds like you have it sorted out in the chance something like this happens in the future.
It is good this situation resolved as...
My personal choice is to be low-profile. I'll conceal to avoid others seeing that I have a weapon. I'm not that confident in my skills, yet, and I personally would like to avoid drawing attention to myself when I don't know someone is watching.
I understand how showing your pistol and...
Yikes Brother ... I'm no expert, but I wouldn't telegraph to anyone I have a firearm and I certainly wouldn't confront them or walk their way with an empty firearm.
Seems like one should keep the element of surprise on their side of a situation like this.
Be careful. They'll be back or their...
For some reason these two clips got through to my better half. She thought/thinks all my efforts to get us prepared is just a waste of my time, energy, and our money.
Something worked on these two clips and made her begin to understand all this. Perhaps it was the three of them sitting on...
Rookie mistake here ... I just realized I posted a message to myself thinking I posted it to you. my apologies.
Hi.
As I look at the CHIAPPA website http://www.chiappafirearms.com/product/38, I'm not sure which configuration you have -- standard or target.
If you could just confirm that...
